Sunday Scenic Showcase April 13, 2014

This is turning out great! Thanks for sharing!  Terry

Working on an old Tire Shack for an upcoming diorama. Still got a ways to go.

Looking great, Alan !!

I like that a lot, Leon.

I've been working on this simple little background building to fill in behind the diner for what seems like forever. So, I decided if I was ever going to finish it I'd just have to knuckle down.............. and cheat.

Not finished but I'm making progress.

Thanks Vulcan,

Diner scene looks good. I like the loook of the asphalt. Did you use cork for the asphalt?

Thanks, Leon. Yes, cork, I followed your lead on that. (And gave you credit for it when I originally posted it).

Impressive stuff again!

Nice craftsmanship guys! 

Gotta love those COLORED PENCILS and SAWDUST.

Bill W's wooden B&O...

Finished the shed on top of the grain silo.  This houses the grain tubes which channel the grain after it drops off the top of the leg. Still to do it the cover over the top of the leg, which will protrude from the roof of the shed, and the cable safety fence.  I do not think the fence was installed until the 60s but it is there now. 

Alan, nice job on the roundhouse.

Leon, what a beautiful rendition of the Tire Shack.

Vulcan, that's what a call a diner!

Nice Vulc, I'm hungry!

Resurrected my old lumber shed. It is missing some pieces but thought it was still worthy of some weathering and lumber.  Here it is ready to go into a scene when I start building.

Great stuff this week!

Uncle Fester:

Great Lumber shed !

I will have to make a version of that for my layout as I'm modeling my Uncles Sawmill from my youth. He had similar buildings but back to back with peaked roofs for more storage in the Colorado snowfall.

Alan / Leon and all - great stuff

I just finished up a tank farm for a customer. Hope you like it.

Guy's, every photo I just look at were TOP SHELF.  The box cars were Perfect.

Joe - It looks great! 

Art

My woodshed.

Thanks Art

Joe:

I am very impressed with your tank farm project. 

Brian - thank you

Joe... what scale are those tanks? They look huge. (and very nice!)

Hi Trainman:

They are O scale (I hope). The horizontal tanks are 2 1/2 inch diameter (Plastruct). The vertical tank is 4 inch diameter (Home Depot PVC couplers). I usually use a 3 inch dia but decided to change so the new customer would have something more unique. I have to fill in molding divots and sand the PVC but the low price helps me keep my costs down.

Attached is a customer picture that gives a better perspective.

Your forum blog is amazing.
